The Island Of Pag

When visiting Zadar most tourists tend to gravitate towards nearby towns and islands. One of the most popular destinations in the surrounding area is most certainly the island of Pag. It is situated in the northern part of the Adriatic Sea. It has got the longest coastline and it is one of the biggest islands in Croatia. There are two small towns on the island, Pag and Novalja.

When somebody mentions Pag many things come to mind, but the one thing it is famous for has got to be its delicious cheese. On the island sheep graze freely, eating different types of aromatic plant species which give the cheese such fantastic flavour that will satisfy even the most discerning palates of cheese lovers. When visiting the island make sure not to miss the cheese factory guided tour.

One of the most unique things about the island is the tradition of lacework. Lacemaking has been a part of Croatia´s cultural heritage for a very long time. Lace – makers on the island of Pag make lace without using any drawings which makes each piece distinctive and unrepeatable.

When it comes to younger generations, they go the island for one thing and one thing only -partying.

Zrce is one of the most popular party beaches in the world. It has been a go – to place for young people from all over the world who are eager to party and have a good time while enjoying refreshing cocktails and club music. Most popular clubs include Papaya, Aquarius and Cocomo. They are mostly open – air clubs and music festivals take place almost on daily basis.

So what do you get when you combine cheese, lace and clubbing ? Well, the most amazing place that is the island of Pag. Make sure to put it on your travel itinerary next time you get itchy feet.

It is not to be missed.

Stay safe in Croatia

We can all agree that 2020 was a year of great change. It was one of the most challenging years but also a great learning experience. The COVID – 19 pandemic has taken a major toll on people all over the world. Different sectors of the economy have been hit. All businesses have been faced with serious and overwhelming challenges, but the effects of COVID – 19 pandemic on hospitality industry have been unprecedented. Slowly but surely it has adapted to the newly created situation. This has meant creating a new set of extraordinary measures especially when it comes to hygiene protocol in hotels. (Stay safe in Croatia)

The first impression starts at the hotel doorstep. The entrance is the crucial point when it comes to creating that first positive image. In times of COVID – 19 this means placing a disinfectant dispenser in a visible place , in close proximity to the door, available for everyone entering the premises. There should also be a sign on the front door reminding the guests to wear face masks and to use the disinfectant upon entering. Here at “ Mediteran “ we are taking these measures seriously . All the hotel surfaces are cleaned and disinfected daily. Same guidelines apply when it comes to the hotel room cleanliness and hygiene. Keeping the distance is quite important in common rooms like the hotel lobby and the restaurant. We are making sure to maintain distance between the tables to provide you with the safest and the most enjoyable dining experience. We are also part of the “ Safe Stay in Croatia “project which goes to show that all the safety measures are implented and respected at the hotel.


We are living in unusual times but here at “ Mediteran “ we believe it is of extreme importance to keep some semblance of normality. We should not deprive ourselves of the little things we enjoy doing as long as we do them in a cautious way, taking our own safety and the safety of others into account. Next time you visit Zadar, make sure you stop by at “Mediteran “ and experience hospitality at its best.
